Aug 31, 2009 Pours light brown with a tan head. Smells of perfume, spice, dry malt, some floral hints, dark fruit, molasses. Tastes of dry malt, bananas, dark fruit, some sweet molasses, dry spicy finish.

Aug 31, 2009 Brown color with a smattering of bubbles at the surface of the beer. The first thing I smell is like chocolate and makes me think of Old Stock. The taste is fruity, like plums, with an almost barleywine flavor. This seems like Old Stock with Belgian yeast….This is a sipper for sure given the ABV. There is some noticeable phenolic flavor but is is not strong enough to detract from the flavor.

HighlanderOne (538), Somewherein, New Jersey, USA
Aug 22, 2009 Poured from big bottle. Aroma of burnt caramel. Dark mahogany with tan head that thins out. A lot of things going in in the flavor - molasses, raisin, plum, banana, and pepper. Flavors are well blended and hide the 9% ABV well. Good finish. A fine beer.

Aug 20, 2009 Tried this at the Pittsburgh Brew at the Zoo and it was the favorite thing I tasted all night. Pours a dark purplish brown color with a nice layer of frothy tan head that stays the entire drink. Aroma is very sweet and sugary, lots of raisins, brown sugar and spice. Flavor is a wonderfuly complex mix of chocolate, caramel, dark fruits, raisins, and a rummy booziness in the finish that makes you want to sip this near a fire. Excellent beer.

Aug 17, 2009 Had at the Hop Leaf in Chicago. A pretty tasty and good interpretation with typical but good Belgian characteristics.
Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA
Aug 13, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours out a light brown with hints of red to it and an inch and a half tan head. Aroma is full of sugar, raisins, caramel, some light breadiness. Flavor is a lot the same with the raisins and caramel malt being at the forefront. Leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste, but is mostly pretty smooth. Solid brew, fantastic name and label.

Aug 13, 2009 Bottle at home.
Redbrown with a light brown head. Aroma heavy malty (caramel, brown sugar, dark fruits). Flavor heavy sweet, weak bitter. Light body despite the strength.
